The Postscript Podcast

Happy New Spielberg Month to those who celebrate! To usher in the release of Steven Spielberg's newest film, Disclosure Day, we will be covering some of his most controversial films from over the years. We are beginning with his 2005 alien invasion film, War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. This would be their second and final collaboration together. Why was the response to this film less enthusiastic? What would Spielberg's and Cruise's careers have looked like if they kept working together? Is Dakota Fanning the Patrick Mahomes of child actors? Come and rewatch with us!

As the Oscars approach and we finally close the book on last year in film, we continue our yearly tradition of reflecting on all that the previous year had to offer and determining which films from 2025 are most likely to be Postscript-eligible in the future. We also use this episode as an opportunity to take stock as a podcast and the nearly 70 films we covered, discussing which movies we’ve covered are the most exemplary Postscript films, which ones have stuck with us the most, and which films have evolved since our episodes on them.

With Superman (2025) being one of the most widely seen and discussed films of last year and Man of Tomorrow (2027) production now underway, the boys revisit Zack Snyder's polarizing Man of Steel (2013). Over a decade later, how does movie stack up against James Gunn's Superman, and where does it sit in the zeitgeist alongside other Superman and superhero films? Is it really all that different from Gunn's take? Is it better? Will we be able to convince Mateo to do Snyder Month with us? Listen to find out!

The Summer of Postscript continues as the fellas journey to everyone's favorite honeymoon spot, The Grid. In honor of Joseph Kosinski's F1, we take another look at Kosinski's debut, Tron: Legacy. After discussing what we felt was an exemplary legacy sequel last week in T2 Trainspotting, we examine one of the first proper legacy sequels of the 2010s, coming over half a decade before the wave that later came. Was this movie far more influential that we've given it credit? Does this movie actually have juice, or is that our fifth grade nostalgia speaking? How do you appraise the value of aura and hype moments in the year 2025? Are Chris Pine fans being properly fed? Come get digitized with us.
